Live Gamer Powering the Virtual Economy of Favela Wars(TM) From Nano Studio
NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/15/13 -- Live Gamer, the world's
leading provider of digital commerce solutions for the interactive
entertainment industry, announced today that it will power the
virtual economy of Favela Wars(TM), a new turn-based strategy game
from Brazilian developer Nano Studio.
Nano Studio (and its business unit Nano Games, focused on developing
digital entertainment on web/desktop and mobile platforms) is at the
forefront of the mobile gaming industry in Brazil, which represents
one of the largest and fastest-growing markets worldwide. Brazil's
position as the South American country with the largest mobile
broadband penetration is fueling this market opportunity. Nano
Studio's first release, Favela Wars, is scheduled for release in
March 2013 on web/desktop, shortly followed by the iOS and Android
versions.
Nano Studio has integrated the Live Gamer Elements(TM) platform into
Favela Wars to drive the game's virtual economy for its launch in
Brazil, all of South America and the United States. As a complete
monetization engine, Live Gamer Elements offers a full content and
user management solution, a robust earned and bought virtual currency
system, customizable item storefronts and advanced merchandising, as
well as deep analytics and integration with international payment
gateways.
"We are very excited to be working with Nano Studio," said Andrew
Schneider, President and Co-Founder of Live Gamer. "The team effort
and motivation behind the development of Favela Wars have been
tremendous and we're also looking forward to continuing to expand our
capabilities for the mobile gaming industry in Brazil and South
America."
"Live Gamer's Elements technology is allowing us to concentrate our
efforts on our core skills instead of building a complex virtual
economy management system from scratch," said Dan Eisenberg, Co-owner
of Nano Studio. "This in turn has shortened our time to market and
given us the possibility of expanding our offerings to more platforms
and clients."
